Photographer's Note

Window with a "strange" View...

It's a nice story which made me post this picture.
We have moved recently from a rather modern house in the little harbour village of Bruinisse to a rather "old" house - originally built more than 400 years ago - in the center of the little picturesque town of Tholen.
We were all the time busy with painting and decorating for the first three months and last week I was finally sitting on our sofa, looking around our sitting room and enjoying the feeling of the "almost" ready decoration.
And then, through my own window, I saw a lovely painting at the other side of our street, in the Art Center of Tholen. I stood up, looked and looked again, it was fascinating...

The next morning I went in the Center and I met the artist, Andrea Cook. I asked her about her inspiration for this painting and she showed me a photo on the front of a magazine. And it was indeed one of my own pictures...

Hi Viviane. Wonderful scenery. The rows of tulips create great sense of depth as the merge towards the vanishing point. The contrast between the red and white flowers is dramatic, eslecially when compared to the diffused colours of the trees and the buildings. The sky too fits nicely as it does not compete with the flowers.Bravo Viviane. Regards. Klaudio.

Viviane,
This would indeed make a great painting! Your composition and POV are outstanding using the rows to lead the eye though the photo. The lighting and colors are outstanding with nice sharpness and detail. The haze in the background gives the photo a soft and serene feeling.
TFS,
Asa

Hoi Viviane, nice to see you posting again and great that you bring us this this wonderful spring motif. I love the story, it must have been a remarkable and somehow gratifying experience :-)
Bonne soiree :-)

Viviane, this is a classic composition - basically two lines at right angles. The grey soil and roof tone pleasantly with the sky, while the brilliant red and white tulips bring it to life.
And a very interesting story!
Thanks,
Winifred
